Thanks for the reviews and I hope you enjoy this chapter.

You will get to see a bit of Liz's past when she was younger and some bits of the pod squad past.

Chapter 4

"What do you think Claudia is wanting to talk to Liz about?" Isabel asked Max, they were in the apartment above the Crashdown; heading toward the kitchen while Liz was in her bedroom, changing into something that was more comfortable.

"I don't know; it must be something serious." Max explained as he poured out the drinks and handed her a glass.

"What's serious?" Liz asked as she came through wearing a pair of jeans and Max's black hoodie, Max handed her a glass which she thanked him with her eyes.

"What your grandma wants to talk to you about." Isabel stated and Liz shrugged.

"I'll find out when she comes over to see me." Liz stated as they headed into the living room, Liz and Max sat on the couch, cuddled together while Isabel took the chair.

"Anyway, moving on." Max intruppted and turned to Liz. "When are you moving in? We need to start getting your to control your emotions so that your powers will be under control."

"I don't know yet, I need to wait and see." Liz whispered and Max nodded as he kissed her forehead.

"We'll wait till you are ready, okay." Max said, Liz nodded, and she looked at her watch.

"We better go; the gang will be here soon." Liz stated as they got up and went down the stairs to meet up with the gang.

The gang was sitting around the booth talking about what they knew off their past when Liz finally caught on to something.

"Are you are telling me that you don't remember much about your past." Liz asked and the trio shook their head.

"Why, do you?" Tess asked and Liz nodded.

"Well don't keep us in suspense." Maria exclaimed and Liz laughed.

"Well, Rath was, ah he was Rath. He was what we call here a player, he preferred women that had a low IQ, something about less nagging." Liz explained and Isabel rolled her eyes.

"And I married him?" She asked, offended and Liz smiled at her.

"It was a political marriage, you never actually did anything." Liz reassured and Isabel smiled her relief at her. "Rath was a great brother, he was very protective of me and he taught me how to fight in our past life." Liz finished.

"Vilandra, what was she like?" Alex asked and Liz smiled fondly at the memories.

"She was the most beautiful, headstrong, passionate woman I had ever met. She was so much like her mother and everyone loved her." Liz explained and chuckled lightly. "She was a bit controlling when it came to affairs like balls and birthdays, those kind of events but she was caring and loved her family a lot." Liz explained.

"Zan?" Tess asked and a small smile of love filled her face, everyone noticed the difference.

"He was the best friend of Rath, he wasn't a player and didn't date a lot of women and he preferred them with an IQ so that he could have an conversation with them." Liz explained. "He loved his mother and sister very much and tried so hard to protect them, especially after his father died after an heart attack."

What about you? What did you mean to us?" Max asked and Liz sighed.

"I was Rath's sister and Vilandra's best friend. However, to Zan, oh, we were together and in love. We even got married but in the end it wasn't meant to be." Liz explained and looked off to the side. "You were intended for another woman called Ava but you wanted me and threatened to turn down the crown if they refused to let you have me so they gave in but I died a few months later." Liz explained, Max was about to ask how she died but Liz stood up with her cup and turned to the others. "Do you need a refill?" Liz asked, they all shook their heads, Liz nodded as she got up and moved behind the counter to fill up her glass when they heard the door jingle, announcing that someone had walked in.

Liz looked up and saw her Grandma standing in the doorway. "Grandma." She greeted and Claudia nodded

"Hi honey bear, we need to talk." Claudia stated and Liz bit her bottom lip as she looked toward the gang, torn between needing to find out what her Grandma wanted and wanting to hang out with her friends. Max made the choice for her.

"We'll just head on home and leave you two to have your talk." Max stated as they all stood up, Max walked over to Liz and kissed her gently on the forehead. "Call me later okay?" Liz nodded as she kissed him on the lips then watched as he walked off with the gang.

Liz turned and walked into the backroom with Claudia following her, she led the way up the stairs till they reached the living room and both women sat on the couch. Liz turned to Claudia.

"So, what did you want to talk to me about?" Liz asked; Claudia took in a deep breath as she locked eyes with her granddaughters' deep brown eyes.

"Liz, I was wondering if you would like to come with me?" she stated, Liz looked at her, puzzled, provoking Claudia into rephrasing her statement. "I mean; would you like to live with me."

"Grandma, I would love to, you know I would, but my school and friends are here." Liz explained.

"You could move school and meet new friends." Claudia countered and Liz sighed as she looked down.

"Grandma, I can't leave Max." Liz whispered and Claudia watched her carefully then sighed.

"You've found him, haven't you?" Claudia asked and Liz looked up and nodded.

"Yes I have Grandma, and I've just found him, I can't lose him again, I won't." Liz stated; making Claudia confused by the 'again' but brushed it off because Liz had always said some weird stuff in the past. Claudia sighed as she hugged Liz close to her body, she was too much like her mother; Claudia thought fondly as she stroked Liz's hair and kissed the top of her head.

"Okay sweetie. As long, you know what you are doing. Claudia agreed and Liz pulled away so she could look deep into her Grandma's brown eyes.

"I do Grandma, I'm following my heart and it's leading me to Max." Liz promised; then she sighed before stressing passionately. "I love him Grandma."

"I know you do sweetheart." Claudia whispered.

Max came up the stairs the next morning. He and Liz had made plans to go to the Pod Chambers to work on her powers and maybe see if she would tell him how she died in their past life. He stopped when he saw Claudia coming from the kitchen and saw him.

"Max, I need to ask you something." Claudia stated and Max nodded as he followed her into the kitchen. "Last night, I asked Liz to move away with me, to come and live with me but she turned me down because she loves you." Claudia explained and Max's heart relaxed after finding out that Liz could have moved. "I need to know, do you love her Max." Claudia asked and Max looked straight at her.

"Yes I do, I love with the dept of my soul and my heart." Max promised, not once breaking the eye contact.

Claudia studied him carefully before smiling and nodding her agreement.

"She is a lucky woman." Claudia stated and Max blushed as he looked at the ground shyly.

"I'm the lucky one madam." Max stated and Claudia smiled slightly at the young man before her.

"You may go and see Liz, I believe she is just getting her sneakers on." Claudia stated and Max nodded as he walked over to Liz's room.

Claudia smiled as she watched him walk away before grabbing her jacket and heading out of the Crashdown to go to the reservation to see some old friends.

"Hey Liz, are you ready?" Max asked as he opened the door only to see that Liz's bed was on fire. "Liz!" Max cried out as his hand automatically went over the bed, putting out the flames. His eyes searched the bedroom and he found her, curled up in a corner as tears leaked out from her eyes. "Liz, what happened?" Max asked as he knelt down beside her.

"I don't know, I was looking a picture of my mom and I remember what happened to her, I sat down on my bed then it erupted into flames." Liz sobbed out. "I tried to put it out but it kept getting higher and higher."

"Sh, it's okay." Max whispered as he enveloped her into his arms and rocked her backward and forward while raising one hand to return the bed back to its natural state.

"No, it's no okay Max. I hate feeling like I'm out of control." Liz snapped as she pushed Max away and started pacing the bedroom, her hands running through her hair.

Max could see the green lights flashing through her hands once more and realised that she was getting out of control again.

"Liz." Max warned but Liz didn't hear him.

"I hate this Max, I hate that I have to lose everyone that I love. It's just not fair!" Liz shouted and all of a sudden, a huge white light erupted from Liz and slamming outward.

"Feeling better?" Max asked, Liz looked at the wall before resting her head on Max's chest.

"Yeah, but I feel sorry for the wall." She replied and Max looked at the wall before smirking.

"Yeah, the poor wall." Max stated; Liz, playfully, slapped his chest.

"It's not funny!" she defended and Max looked at her with a wide eye incredulous.

"You blew a hole in the wall!" Max exclaimed. "And you feel sorry for it, so yes that is funny."

"No it's not, the wall couldn't defend itself." Liz rebuked and Max shook his head.

"Liz, it's a wall." He explained and Liz shrugged.

"I still feel sorry for it." Liz replied quietly.

Isabel and Michael walked into the Parker's house but stop short when they saw the hole in the wall and saw that Max and Liz was lying on the bed on the other side.

"Hey guys." Max greeted with a wave before smiling cheekily. "Like the new window?" Liz slapped Max's chest once more before burying her face into his chest.

Michael and Isabel stared at the two of them in a stunned shock before turning back to the wall.

"She did that." Michael asked, Max just grinned while Liz's face just reddens. "Damn!"

"Michael!" Isabel snapped as she backhanded Michael's chest.

"What?" he asked. "I'm just saying that none of us have been able to do that and she did plus she hardly ever uses her powers so it doesn't really make sense how she was able to create a hole this size!" Michael explained and Isabel rolled her eyes.

"No need to rub it in." Isabel hissed to him and Michael rolled his eyes at Isabel's back before lifting up a hand, in form of a mouth, and started mouthing along with Isabel while moving his hand as Isabel continued to rant while looking at the hole in the wall.

Liz stifled her snickers as Max bit his bottom lip in order to prevent his laugher from breaking through. Isabel stopped when she saw this and turned around.

Michael pulled down his hand when Isabel stopped ranting and pasted an innocent look on his face. "What were you doing?" Isabel asked with a glare forming in her eyes, Michael just looked confused and shrugged while Liz and Max were snickering in the background.

"I didn't do anything!" Michael protested and Isabel nodded while glaring at him.

"I'm gonna head home, you boys can fix this wall before Liz's Grandma comes back." Isabel stated and Liz shook her head.

"Grandma has left. She told me that she was going to visit some friends before getting the flight back home. She made me promise to phone her tonight." Liz stated and Isabel nodded.

"Lucky time for your powers to explode." Isabel stated and Liz nodded in agreement. "Anyway, you boys fix this wall and I'll go home to set up Liz's bedroom for whenever she is ready to move in." Isabel stated before heading out of the room.

Michael looked at Max with a horrified look.

"This is gonna take a lot of energy!" Michael exclaimed. "The hockey game is coming on!"

"Michael, it's not going to take long, so come on." Max stated as he kissed Liz's forehead before getting off the bed and walking toward the wall.

Two days later.

"I'm so glad that you're moving in with us!" Isabel squealed as she carried a box into Liz's new bedroom. Max just rolled his eyes as he and Michael brought in more boxes.

Liz's bed and equipment were staying at her old bedroom so that she could stay there when she wanted to. All she had to do was bring her clothes, books ect so that they wouldn't get stolen, Liz had planned ahead and made sure that she melted the windows shut and strengthened the glass panes so that they couldn't get broken.

As she didn't have a lot of stuff with her, they were able to unpack as they went along, making it easier for her to be settled into the bedroom.

"I know." Liz stated softly as she set her box down and unpacked it. The Evans had always wanted another child, they even offered the bedroom to Michael but he loved his free space too much that he declined and when they let Liz move in, they decided to splash out, buying her a new T.V and video entertainment along with a C.D Player. They even offered to buy her a computer but she refused, saying that she usually did her homework handwritten and if she needed the computer, she could always use the one in Max's bedroom.

"Why does she need to move in here?" Tess asked when Liz headed out of the room toward the van to pick up the last box. "Why couldn't she live with the Valenti?"

"Because she doesn't use her powers much and she need a mother figure as well." Isabel stated, her patience waning with the young blonde.

"We've told you the reason a hundred times so get over it." Maria added in.

"Plus the skins are after them and Jeff did say that we couldn't allow to let them get their hands on her." Alex injected. They all shut up when Liz walked back into the room.

"I had forgotten that I had this." Liz muttered as she looked at the picture, smiling fondly.

"What is it?" Max asked and Liz turned the picture around to face them.

It consisted of Liz with three boys and two young girls; all of them were smiling into the picture.

"Who are they?" Isabel asked.

"This is Jessica Malone,' Liz pointed to the red head, 'Sarah Anderson,' pointing to the blonde, 'Jack Wilson,' pointing to the dark blonde, 'he's Jessica's boyfriend, Mark Anderson,' pointing to the blonde, 'He's Jessica's brother and is going out with Tammy Johnson, she is the one who is taking the picture. And this is Paul Caswell,' pointing to the brunette, 'he is going out with Sarah.' Liz explained.

"Do you have a picture of Tammy?" Alex asked and Liz nodded as she raked through the box and pulled out a picture, it consisted of her and another brunette. Both of them were hugging and laughing at the camera

"This is Tammy, she was my best friend."

"What happened to her?" Max asked.

"She died of cancer." Liz explained, sadly.

"I'm sorry." Alex stated and Liz smiled sadly.

"You know what I always found amusing, that people always say that they are sorry for something they didn't cause, for something that they had no control over." Liz stated, amused slightly as she looked at the photograph.

"How old were you?" Max asked.

"We were fourteen at the time." Liz whispered.

"It must have been hard for you." Maria murmured and Liz nodded.

"She was my best friend and I miss her all the time." Liz replied before placing the photograph back in the box and sitting it to the side.

Liz and Isabel found themselves in Liz's bedroom, doing their nails.

"Did you have any boyfriends at you other schools?" Isabel asked as she put red nail polish on her toenails.

"No, I was friends with the boys rather than going out with them. I was more concerned about my schoolwork than relationships." Liz admitted.

"Why not?" Isabel asked and Liz shrugged.

"I just wasn't interested in them." Liz explained and waited for her next question.

"Are you hurt that Max went out with Tess?" Isabel asked and Liz smirked slightly as she looked at Isabel.

"No I'm not, Max told me that they just kissed on the cheeks rather than snog beside I thought Max was in love with Tess at the time." Liz explained.

"How do you do that?" Isabel asked and Liz tilted her head to side, wondering what she meant. "Give up people just because you think they are better off?"

"It was the way I was brought up." Liz stated with a shrug.

"Does it feel weird that you are living in the same house as your boyfriend?" Isabel asked and Liz smiled.

"A bit but I know it will be okay as Max and I have only gotten together and not ready to rush to the next step." Liz explained and looked at Isabel. "How is it going with Grant?"

"Okay." Isabel said vaguely.

"Just okay?" Liz pushed and Isabel sighed.

"He's sweet and nice and I have fun but he's not…"

"Alex?" Liz finished and Isabel nodded in confirmation. "Why don't you just get together with Alex then?"

"I'm scared." Isabel whispered and Liz smiled slightly.

"Of course you are scared, love is a scary thing but it's a wonderful thing as well." Liz explained. "Why do you think I kept pushing Max away? I was scared of what I was feeling for him." Isabel looked at her. "It wasn't just because he was going out with Tess."

"How can you be with him if you are scared?" Isabel asked and Liz sighed.

"Because if I let my fears get in the way then I wouldn't be with Max and would be missing out on something wonderful." Liz finished, not trying to scare Isabel. "Why are you scared?"

"I don't know, I feel like, we if get together I'm going to hurt him, that being me I will hurt him." Isabel explained and Liz sighed.

"Everyone is scared to let anyone in. you just need to find out if Alex is really the person you want to be with." Liz stated and rolled her eyes. "Beside, Alex already knows about you being the whole 'not of this earth' and still hadn't turned away. That says a lot."

"I know but I'm just scared that one day, my past will come back to haunt us and Alex will be hurt because of it." Isabel admitted; both girls sat in silence, wondering what Isabel meant by that.
